NEW INTERIOR FOR PETE 320
Peterbilt has unveiled the all-new ProBilt interior for its Model 320 low-cab forward. It offers ergonomic improvements, system enhancements, and better outward vision.
The Model 320 interior underwent a floor-to-ceiling re-design, the company says, beginning with the new ergonomic dash layout. The new instrument panel includes LED backlit gauges that are easy to read and are easily visible through the new steering wheel, along with the new Driver Information Display that provides critical vehicle data, as well as rocker switches that are within easy reach, says Pete.
An in-mold process embeds color directly into the dash for a durable finish that’s said to virtually eliminate fading, scratching, and peeling. Removable dash panels allow easy access to electrical and HVAC components, and an improved HVAC system includes a new header with overhead controls and toggle switches, as well as the ConcertClass audio system.
The cab’s B-pillar has been re-designed to include cab corner windows for increased vision, also aided by a lowered dash brow and a large, retractable sunshade that spreads the length of the front windshield.
The new interior includes a large, multi-purpose center console with removable panels allow for easy installation and access to body controls. Storage space is abundant, the company says, with multiple compartments plus a space designed specifically for a small lunch cooler, driver and passenger side cup holders, as well as a USB charging port and 12V DC charging outlet.
The cab features the extensive use of contemporary LED lighting, including two directional dome lights in the headliner, as well as two over-the-door lights and one large light on the back wall.
Safety and comfort were key considerations in the new pedal-position package, says Peterbilt. Customers were consulted about pedal placement and space between the throttle and the brakes, and the result was an optimized layout that’s said to provide a more comfortable driving position.
Other features include: header and over-door storage capacity; tilt/telescoping steering wheel; and heated seats. The ProBilt interior is available in Titanium Gray.
